The most consequential Supreme Court<\/a> case involving race in the current session centers on whether Louisiana must, per the Voting Rights Act, have not one, but two, majority-Black congressional districts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Progressives fighting a challenge to the current congressional district map \u2014 which includes two such districts \u2014 are already crying foul, as oral argument seemed to indicate that a majority of the justices are inclined to bar consideration of race in drawing district lines \u2014 much as they barred Harvard from considering race in its admissions decisions. For progressives, such a change would, as Politico put it, “gut” the Voting Rights Act, which ended Jim Crow\u2019s outright disenfranchisement, through such means as poll taxes and literacy tests.<\/p>\n

But, there\u2019s another goal which once commanded liberal support<\/a> that drawing black majority districts contravenes: residential racial integration. In effect, using race to draw district lines requires Black residential concentrations \u2014 what used to be called segregated neighborhoods. Only by going out of their way to find majority Black neighborhoods to cobble together in one district can Louisiana achieve progressives\u2019 stated goal: two districts likely to elect a second black member of Congress, in a state whose population is one-third black.<\/p>\n

LOUISIANA AG AIMS TO DISMANTLE \u2018OFFENSIVE\u2019 VOTING LAW THAT FACTORS RACE INTO REDISTRICTING<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The map of the Louisiana congressional districts facing Supreme Court challenge tells the story. Of the state\u2019s six congressional districts, only one \u2014 the Sixth district, specifically drawn to be majority Black \u2014 is not geographically contiguous. Instead, as the state map shows, it snakes across fully 10 parishes (counties), from central Louisiana, including the capital, Baton Rouge, to the far northwest, seeking concentrated pockets of Black voters, such that they comprise 54 percent of the population. Historically, the district was concentrated in a single parish, Natchitoches.<\/p>\n

Absent pockets of concentrated Black residential areas<\/a>, this fear of racial gerrymandering would have been impossible.<\/p>\n

It could well be that such concentrations reflect ongoing housing discrimination \u2014 but, if so, the progressive preference of Black residents necessarily being represented by a Black member of Congress actually takes advantage of such a practice.<\/p>\n

Overlooked, of course, is the possibility that Black residents have more in common with other members of their local communities \u2014 Black or White \u2014 than with others who are geographically distant. Or that significant Black minorities in majority White districts might become key swing voters.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the first time a progressive policy<\/a> has fostered Southern residential segregation, in the name of providing a dubious benefit for African-Americans. Public housing has had the same effect in many communities in the Deep South and continues to do so. When created by the New Deal, the National Housing Act of 1937 was co-sponsored by Alabama Congressman Henry Steagall, who insisted the program serve more than major Northern cities. His Jim Crow.<\/p>\n

Southern Democrats understood it, too, as a means to effect residential racial segregation. In the small city of New Bern, North Carolina, that state\u2019s colonial capital, for instance, a racially-integrated working-class neighborhood called Long Wharf was declared a slum, demolished and replaced by an all-white housing project. An all-Black project was built in another part of town.<\/p>\n

It was part of a pattern. FDR himself inaugurated Atlanta\u2019s all-white Techwood Houses; the city\u2019s University Houses were reserved for Blacks. In Detroit, Eleanor Roosevelt, the quintessential progressive, cut the ribbon on the Frederick Douglas Houses, reserved for Blacks only. The first lady was convinced she was doing a good deed by guaranteeing Blacks would get the benefit of life in the new projects. (It didn\u2019t turn out well, as the Douglas Houses were ultimately declared to be so “distressed” they had to be demolished.)<\/p>\n

In the Deep South today, public housing<\/a> remains a redoubt of Black concentration: Blacks comprise 96 percent of public housing residents in Birmingham, 94 in Atlanta, 92 in East Baton Rouge and 96 percent in Clarksdale, Mississippi.<\/p>\n

Ironically, even as residents often endure high crime and poor upkeep, those concentrations are crucial in forming the Black-majority congressional districts which progressives so fervently support. One bad idea has led to another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
